Description

Wandsworth Community Transport (WCT) is a registered charity that provides specialist transport services across the borough of Wandsworth for community groups and individuals with mobility problems, including regular shopping trips and outings.

They provide a shopping shuttle service to help people get to Wandsworth shopping centre. It is a door-to-door service that runs daily and offers a regular weekly slot on the same bus with the same driver to ensure a friendly and secure environment. They also offer monthly trips to other shopping locations in London.

The charity offers outings to pub lunches, days out to the coast and other places of interest, as well as minibus hire for groups. Visit the website for a full list of current outings and trips.
